Photo-a-Day: Advocate

Photo-a-Day-AdvocateI use each of these items every day to help manage my diabetes.  Each one tracks a necessary variable.  In order to optimize my treatment, I need to analyze the data I collect, and yet none of these devices talk to one another or have a common analysis platform.  I advocate for simplifying diabetes data collection and analysis, while empowering patients.  (See my proposal, Pixels: Your Personal Diabetes Big Picture).


This post is one in a series for the National Diabetes Month of November.  Kerri from sixuntilme.com initiated the Photo-a-Day idea and prompts and lots of other diabetes bloggers have chosen to follow suite.

Photo-a-Day: Proud

I’m a little late, but hoping it’s ok to still join in on Kerri’s Diabetes Month Photo-a-Day.  I love the idea and have really enjoyed reading everyone’s posts and seeing all the great photos.  I suppose mine will be Most of a Diabetes Month Photo-a-Day ;)

Photo-a-Day: Proud

Proud.  This is an easy one.  I could try to think of something different but the truth is this is one of those words where the obvious and simple choice that comes to mind is the right choice.  My babies.  I’d probably be the most proud of them even if I didn’t have diabetes but having gone through those pregnancies successfully with T1 makes me especially proud.
